quade 4 #3 November 20, 2004 At one point in time, or so goes the story, there was a study that said it cost $847.63 per month to raise a child. When the animators of the Simpsons made their opening title sequence, they made a reference to it. It's the price that pops up when Maggie is scanned at the check out counter. Now, this all may be urban myth. I dunno.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gawain 0 #7 November 20, 2004 Okay, I'm going to be dumb. Does this mean you're going to be a father? If so, congratulations! If not, then the significance of roughly $850 doesn't ring any bells to me...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

beowulf 1 #10 November 21, 2004 My mom got by on a lot less when she was a single mom and had us 4, yes 4 kids to raise. Can you say garage sale clothes and peanut butter and jelly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, it sounds like your mom did what she had to do and made it work. That's worth some major respect. For some people, it's tough to wear/use secondhand stuff because they're hung up on impressing everyone (as though what you wear should impress people, and not who/how you are!). And Gawain, no, I'm not expecting a baby. Dunno how that impression got given... Last baby I could possibly have made woulda been born already. -Jeffrey-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
